Amin, assembled and hung our entertainment furniture with a laser level and installed our TV and soundbar with expert skill. Assembling our entertainment system was no easy task as there were missing screws and bad instructions. He provided us timely execution at a reasonable price. We highly recommend Amin.

I am very pleased with the work that Greg did for me. He built a redwood lattice box to cover my air conditioner unit. He built two small redwood lattice boxes for sprinkler valves. I described what I wanted and he built them perfectly. Greg also made a custom wall shelf for my collectables. I love everything he did. Greg is nice and very easy to work with. He kept me updated with pictures on a daily basis. Greg had everything finished in one week. I recommend Greg Ching for any woodworking item(s) that you'd like done. A Plus!

Kenny came to the initial bidding process on time and prepared to deliver his initial quote. While he was at the job-site, he suggested other jobs that he is proficient in completing if we decided we need help. The first job was in demolishing and removing a gazebo that was constructed between two existing buildings. He was meticulous in dismantling it and left no trace when he was finished. Kenny will be refinishing our hardwood floors next, and installing laminate planking. Hope I can leave another review after he's done!

Anthony’s Custom Woodworking is AMAZING. I reached out to Anthony regarding a custom blanket ladder I wanted for my living room. He went above and beyond with the design and it fit perfectly with my other decor. He went as far as to match the stain with my other wooden pieces.
I reached out to him again to help sand and stain/paint pieces for my newly remodeled back yard furniture.
If you need someone that is professional, creates high quality items and is affordable look no further!

I hired Ian to do an accent wall in our home and I couldn't be happier I did. The final product looks great and he was extremely easy to work with. He's professional, honest, and responsive. I would easily hire him again.

He quickly responded to my ad. On his way to my home, he made sure to keep me updated on traffic. He was very prepared, efficient and highly knowledgable with anything pertaining woodwork.
I have already asked him to come work on the next project.
I highly recommend his services.

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Who is a carpenter and what do they do?

Carpenters are skilled craftsmen who build things out of wood. Depending on what the carpenter builds, they may be referred to by various names. A framer is a carpenter who puts up the framing on a house. A trim or finish carpenter installs the finishing touches of prefabricated or custom trim and detail work once a house has been built and the walls are up. A furniture maker or woodworker builds furniture — such as tables, beds and dressers — out of wood. A cabinetmaker is a carpenter who builds custom and semi-custom wood cabinets. If you’re having a home built or remodeled, your general contractor will either provide or subcontract the carpentry work for the framing, cabinets and trim. You can hire a carpenter directly to update the trim in your home, build you a piece of custom furniture, or repair or replace your wood cabinets.

Do carpenters build houses?

Carpenters are trained to work with wood. That means that any part of your home that is built of wood is very likely to involve a carpenter. Framing carpenters will put up the wood that makes up the bones of your home. If you’re having a wood floor installed, it may be done by a carpenter — although being a carpenter is not a requirement to install flooring. Trim, baseboards, wainscoting and any other detail work is typically installed by a finish carpenter. The wood boxes of custom cabinets will be built and installed by a carpenter.

Although all of these components in your new or remodeled home are built by carpenters who specialize in building things with wood, a general contractor typically oversees construction of the entire house. If the general contractor is also a carpenter skilled in all these areas, they may well construct your entire home. More often, the general contractor subcontracts out the various building stages to different individuals, including carpenters.
